Parent group gives failing grade to earlier school start

The lack of enthusiasm for school openings in mid-August is beginning to take its toll.

Jefferson County Schools started on Aug. 12, except Conifer and Evergreen schools, which started Aug. 19.

But Superintendent Cindy Stevenson told parents Aug. 21 the district is reconsidering its decision to begin classes earlier.

Speaking at a regular meeting of the school board, Stevenson said: “We are working on doing a later start. Everybody wants a later start. Everyone also wants a mini-break in October, and they want finals to end before Christmas.”
